I have been toying with the idea of getting a truck lately. I currently have a newer Dodge Durango and it fits our family perfect on a day to day basis (3rd vehicle) for running kids and travel.

I pull it fine (except for the steepest grades) but due its short wheelbase, the TV does get a bit of sway.
